Richard, I find your patter monotonous and transparent.<br>
<br>
Had I published the photo when it came into my possession (i didn't
go to any trouble) and it was newsworthy then the accusation of
being unprofessional may have some ground. At that time several
newspapers were hunting for one. But once one photo is out then the
one I happen to have has no need to remain hidden. I deliberately
waited for this to do no harm.<br>
<br>
Judgement (especially from outside Whitechapel) on how much has been
'made' in the UK is not completely possible, but the casting of
bells does require more than a supply of bell metal - for instance
the making of the molds is one of several critical aspects to the
process. Bell founding is an art, not a process undertaken on
production lines.<br>
